UN General Assembly 2019: All the latest updates

DAILYNEWS - World leaders have gathered in New York City for the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

The meeting comes amid simmering tension in the Middle East over recent attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities, which the United States blames on Iran, allegations Tehran denies.

UNGA began just days after millions of young activists and their supporters marched in thousands of cities worldwide to demand greater action on climate change. More protests on climate are expected on September 27.

The general debate started on September 24 and ends on September 30, with dozens of world leaders scheduled to address the General Assembly.
